Wow. Just wow. Words fail me at how awesome this arc was. The finale was just perfect. It's a good end, while the seeds for the third entry to this Apocalypse epic Rememder seems to be have planned is laid out.

I got an almost Dark City vibe with how the kid Apocalypse was being treated. Also what is it with the Kents pulling appearances in Marvel, but not DC? This and Carnage had two homages to them. Come on DC even your goddamn rivals know why they where a necessary point in the Superman Mythos that Bryne and the Animated Series put in. However back to Kid A, the name he chose reminds me:

So this kid is fully Apocalypse right? Cause the name Genesis was one taken by Cable's son Tyler. Who later got killed by Logan.

The only negative I could say is how disjointed Sunfire was at the end. One moment he's blasting AoA Bobby and the next he's trying to contain Holocaust (I like Genocide too but really that's his name screw Marvel taking the easy way out).

All and all, best X-Men story in years. Blows the Messiah Trilogy out of the water and Schism.

The Dark Angel Saga is an instant top 5 X-Men arc all-time. It's ridiculous how good this was. Claremont-in-his-prime good.

And the conclusion.. wow.

Those last few pages. Jesus. I mean, it was pretty obvious how this would end.. but that was rough. And then that final page? Awesome. Remender has made me care more about Warren in 18 issues than I have in a very long time. He's been kind of thrown around for the past decade or so until now.

This issue begins on a good note as the heroes begin to gain some ground against Archangel and his minions. AoA Sunfire engulfs AoA Iceman and his ice duplicates in a raging inferno, while Deathlok literally reasons his way back into control of his own body and takes down War just in time to save X-Force and the AoA X-Men who were defeated last issue.

Fantomex and Psylocke confront Archangel, Psylocke is quickly defeated but Fantomex distracts Archangel long enough to brag about hooking up with Betsy. The distraction proves ineffectual though as none of Fantomex's strikes really seem to matter. After taking down Fantomex, Archangel stabs him through the forehead into his brain with his own knife.

Dark Beast, Pestilence, and War (who was previously defeated by Deathlok) have escaped back into the Akkaba Metropolis where Dark Beast announces that he is in charge now, they will be retreating to a new location, and that Pestilence is pregnant with Archangel's heir.

Despite having a knife sticking out of his brain, Fantomex is still alive and able to contact Ultimaton. He tells Ultimaton to play a message and "let him out." Ultimaton warns him that the subject isn't ready but Fantomex tells him to do it anyway.

Psylocke has recovered and is angry that Archangel took Fantomex from her. He accuses her of being a weak woman with no identity but Betsy unleashes all her power claiming that she is more than he will ever know. This is enough to momentarily incapacitate Archangel, buying Betsy the time that she needs to strike him with the Life Seed...but she hesitates thus giving Archangel time to recover and thrown her through a wall and off of a cliff.

Inside of a virtual reality program, Fantomex appears at a small country farm. A young man named Evan, who looks a lot like Apocalypse, lives with an elderly couple named the "Sabahnurs." He refers to Fantomex as "Uncle Cluster" just in time for good old "Uncle Cluster" to tell him that the world that he knows is about to disappear. His world does in fact disappear and he wakes up inside the World. Ultimaton is taking care of him and tells him that he now has to save them all.

Having defeated Psylocke and Fantomex and having no more obstacles in his way, Archangel makes his way to Doom Fountain to conclude his plans only to discover that AoA Sunfire is now absorbing all of Genocide's energy, preventing the fountain from jump starting evolution. The distraction allows Evan to engage Archangel. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to face Archangel yet and is quickly outclassed and overpowered. Waiting in the shadows, Psylocke quickly takes advantage and finally plunges the Life Seed into Archangel's chest, reverting his mind back to Warren.

Fantomex and Ultimaton speed towards Sunfire, hoping to help him before Genocide's flames burn him out, however they arrive too late.

As Warren lays dying, Betsy attempts to comfort him. She enters his mind and allows him to live an entire lifetime with her, complete with two children. Together they grow old, watch their children grown up and get married, and then when they are old Warren peacefully slips away while Psylocke calls him her hero.

Back in reality, Fantomex desperately attempts to bring Betsy out of her trance as the World is crumbling around them. She wants to be left with Warren but Fantomex convinces her to leave. When they pick up Deathlok, we discover that at least Wolverine, Deadpool, AoA Sabretooth, AoA Nightcrawler, and AoA Jean Grey survived and that Deathlok was able to recover control of his body discovering love. He also proudly proclaims that he loves his team. AoA Jean Grey congratulates Betsy on her victory while in the distance a very naked Warren wanders through the snow. Betsy runs to him and kisses him, only for him to ask "Who are you?"

Great ending to a great arc. One of my favorite X stories of all time. I found this post while slumming at the CBR boards from Remender which raises a very interesting question about Warren at the end.

Yeah I've been saying since issue 1 that this was the best book Marvel was putting out and it still holds true to the end of this epic story. Rememder has knocked this book and all it's characters right out of the park.

Remember, though.. Archangel had become a completely seperate entity within Warren. Very Phoenix-ian. But Warren's body had undergone the transformation into the metallic wings years ago. That was a done deal. I don't know why anyone would expect his real wings to return just because the Archangel being inside him was killed.

As for Remender's quote from CBR.. I can see that. In a way, Warren is dead, sure. With his memory completely gone, he's no longer the same person. It should be interesting to see where they go from here with him. It's basically a clean slate. As long as Remender gets to continue his story, I trust him fully. It's only when other people get their hands on him that I worry, mainly for what I said earlier.. Warren has been horrible mistreated as a character throughout the years, until recently.
